Nostalgia with a Kickflip: size eleven’s “day trip” Brings Back the Buzz

Strap in and press play—size eleven’s “day trip” is the kind of track that hits like your favorite trick at the skate park finally landing clean. It’s loud, raw, and unapologetically nostalgic in the best way possible.

Straight out of Los Angeles and straight from the heart, this DIY anthem screams late ’90s skate culture. You can practically see the sun-glared pavement and feel the adrenaline of a downhill ride. With crunchy electric guitar riffs, thick basslines, punchy drum samples, and a perfectly placed “hey!” that cuts through the noise like a slap to the senses, “day trip” doesn’t just nod to the Tony Hawk era—it lives in it.

There’s something deeply personal yet universally familiar in the way size eleven builds this sonic time machine. It’s not trying too hard to be “retro”; it’s just authentic. Recorded, mixed, and mastered from his own space, size eleven captures the reckless joy of simpler days—when your only worry was how to land that next ollie.

The collaboration with Alexander Kevin Gutlay on mixing and mastering keeps everything tight without sanding off the edges. It’s gritty, vibrant, and full of feeling—like a sun-faded polaroid from your coolest summer.

In short? “day trip” is the soundtrack to your inner teenager’s rebellion. Hit repeat, grab your board (or just the vibe), and enjoy the ride.
